Ethics & Etiquette - 1st Period - 8/10

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Today was a good day for class. It was a million and a half degrees out and Deadpool was clutching a fan like he was gonna end up marrying the damn thing. Oh, a full body costume was a baaaad idea.

"My brain has melted, can't we make 'em watch a movie?"

At least Deadpool was wearing cotton. Steve could tell a few stories about slogging through the jungle in the Pacific theater wearing leather and mail. "That would be shirking our responsibilities." His tone said exactly how he felt about that.

Which got a very teenage eyeroll and sigh from Deadpool. "Fiiiine. Today we're learning about how to work on a team and not end up strangling people in their sleep."

"No matter how much you may be tempted to," Steve added. "Not that I would know anything about that." Sometimes he could lie with the best of them.

"Riiiiight. So how about we make up a handy dandy list of ways to treat our co-workers when they get on our nerves that doesn't involve attempted murder. Like, for instance, your teammate has suddenly gained crazy new powers and is being a massive douche, how do you respond?" Deadpool asked. "And don't say you'll talk it out because that's just B.S. and you all know it."

"Talking it out can work," Steve protested. "Don't be so quick to discount it." Except for when it didn't, Tony. "Or say you and your teammate are having a disagreement and your teammate has sided with the people shooting at you. How do you handle that?" Tony. Possibly Steve had issues.

"...sleep with them?" Oh, Deadpool. The heat made you bitchy.

Steve stared at Wade as he slowly turned bright red, and when he regained the ability to speak, "How did you kn--it wasn't--no, Wade." He turned to address the class and say firmly, "Sex solves nothing. Talking is a much better option." Or, you know, an actual pitched battle in Times Square.

And changing the face of a company for years to come until people get bored and bring you back while the other guys is randomly schtupping his secretary whose husband he yanked from life support with that crazy technopathy thingy.

...What? No one said Marvel was sane.

"Okay! So how about you all pair off and come up with scenarios for each other and then figure out a solution, hmmmmm? Be nice and fun and whoever brings me ice cream gets an A."

"Yes," Steve said, still blushing furiously. "Let's do that. But you don't have to bring us ice cream, really."

"Do too!"

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Marvel?

Re: Listen to the lecture

Bobby was torn between the usual state of WTF that this class induced in him and complete agreement about the heat.

Also he had pudding in his hair and smelt strongly of laundry soap.

Raven? Still glowing. She hadn't seen Chuck yesterday, but she hoped she would today. She was trying to pay attention but her thoughts were drifting elsewhere.

Speechless was Adora's default for most classes. At some point in there had been mention of teamwork and she was clinging to that idea the best she could.

Okay, the working in a team part Rose got, but what was with the superpowered part and the - rest of it.

So, so confused. Also hurting kinda a lot from a spar with one of the teachers yesterday.

Hannibal had Angela, the still fuzzy critter, slinking around on his desk even while he sort of gaped at the lecture. He decided to chalk up the weirdness to the heat.

The heat... really didn't bother Zack. In spite of the knit turtleneck number that he was wearing, yes.

Oh, crazy genes.

The class itself, meanwhile, seemed perfectly normal. Why not?

Joan really wasn't surprised by anything she heard in this class anymore.

Jon was a pro at dealing with teammates. Head-smacking and threatening them with a P-90 worked wonders.

Pair Off

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Help each other through this trying situations. No killing.

Re: Pair Off

[longislandiceme]

Bobby looked around for a partner, all the while thinking to himself that maybe he should mail a copy of his notes from this class back home or something, Scott.

Re: Pair Off

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Adora looked for someone who might have an idea of what they were supposed to be doing here. How was school more difficult than doing battle with the Horde?

Re: Pair Off

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal ruffled Angela's fur into a faux hawk while he waited for a partner. Such a good boyfriend.

Re: Pair Off

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan thought this exercise sounded kind of odd, but she looked for a partner anyway.

Talk to the Teachers

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Who are so there.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool totes was, at least. And still dying from heat.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve was, as well, and looking like the heat didn't bother him in the least.

The lack of proper sleep might be starting to get to him, though.

OOC

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

OMG MAKE IT BE FALL.

Re: OOC

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

OMG YES PLZ OR I MIGHT MURDER BABIES FOR REAL!

Re: OOC

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

I AGREE WITH THIS SENTIMENT OMFG IT'S HORRIBLE OUTSIDE. TEMPERATURES OVER 100 ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Re: OOC

[icecoldfrost]

FALL IS BAD. BRING BACK SPRING!

*is completely comfortable*

Though being in the friggin' Northlands might have something to do with it.

What? Montreal is north of me.

*relaxes in the 107 degree Arizona heat*

As for Marvel. 'Dart Board O' Plot' is all I'm sayin'.
